After leak of a caste-based “list” of party office-bearers in Bihar AICC congress is trying to mellow down the issue. No spokes person was available to comment on the list. It is a two page list with 64 names where post and caste are mentioned alongside. The party which claims to be a secular party and has been opposing other political party on the same ground is finding itself in a tough situation.
Our View: Although this could be a first instance of such a leak but this is not an unknown or unassumed thing; I am sure that all the parties will have such a list to pursue its political agenda. They divide us on caste, religion, age, sex. But we are the culprits for this; political parties are doing nothing but exploiting the divides in our minds. We ourselves are divided on such issues and hence vote such leaders.
